Insulation Upgrade to R49 with Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in 1700 Sq. Ft. Home in Fresno, CA

Garrett contacted us because his home was uncomfortably hot and he believed the issue to be his insulation. His air conditioner was struggling to keep his home cool and ran constantly, and as a result, his cooling bills were astronomical. When we inspected his attic, we found that he had little to no insulation in most areas of his attic, with the highest spots being about 2-3 inches. This was directly causing his air conditioner to have to run all the time, and was actually also heating the conditioned air even before it entered the home. We determined that upgrading his insulation to R49, or 18 inches, was the best solution for his cooling problems.

We began by air-sealing visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent the air from flowing from his attic into his home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 18 inches.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, Garrett will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% as well as more comfortable temperatures in his home year-round for as long as he lives there.
